From New Mexico here and this is a youtube video of things I grew up saying... lol... there are two parts to it too- an they are all true and hilarious (to me anyway) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IucBp1yrr7A

Lots of things can cause this-- this happened to me- still don't know the actual reason but am working on growing my hair long again cause it broke off and fell out a lot-- getting it back now but sucked! So- the things I researched were stress, protein intake, and hypothyroidism (I have this so this is probably the cause…

Hey, I have this exact outfit.... but the skirt is a little short to be considered a "good lil Christian girl" --- oh well damnit was that inappropriate or appropriate for this thread... I'm confused lol

Enjoying the rooster and nude pic discussion so far- count me in for inappropriate!

Love the shirt!

Great post- I just started IF and am doing the same as OP- I eat breakfast/lunch around 11 or 12 ish- I wait until I am actually hungry. I lost 6lbs so far and actually love it. I struggled for a long time to get the scale moving in the right direction again but this seems to have helped. I have PCOS and hypothyroid so…

Yes

Interesting! I had read that somewhere as well- on a PCOS site of some kind- I cant remember the name of it though.. but it was a post from a doc/nutritionist that stated that the metformin can cause the bad carb cravings.

Yup just downloaded it yesterday and my kids and I were out in the morning and walked more wherever we stopped to look for Pokémon and get stuff from the stops. My kids were even excited to walk around the neighborhood cause there was a charizard on the next street! Total see this getting the whole family out for walks!

Wow- thank you all for posting this here and all the responses! I really needed to read these today. I think I have introduced myself in here previously but haven't been active for a while in here but am so glad I am part of this group. I have been sooooo struggling to lose weight. A little history- I was diagnosed with…

Sausage, cheese, and green chili quesadilla- was soo yum!

+1

Awesome! thank you, these two answers make sense! Thanks! @lexbubbles and @gothchiq

@rontafoya Honest question, I am truly curious, not trying to be snarky or rude, and maybe you know the answer maybe you don't but if you do I would be interested to know- you state "It's why young men can so easily stay thin -- tons of testosterone. If testosterone is what makes young men thin- why does it make young(er)…

I agree with this too- it kinda goes along with the end of my post that some feel (me) a stronger pull towards food. I have experienced this as well in my life. I have friends even that "forget to eat" their words. And while I have done this I can't imagine doing it all the time like they seem to.

I like the posts and agree with most of the posts you have posted on this thread @lexbubbles For me, the difficulty of course is with calculating MY CICO- no not with education as I am highly educated and know the concepts of calories and the deficit. For me the issue is figuring out what my deficit should be and how much…

I confess that reading through this has shown me I would have way too many confessions for one thread.. could probably have my own thread , lol One thing I will confess though is that I am saving calories for drinking tonight! But I went over my cals yesterday by 800-- wait that's two confessions.. oh well lol

Thank you to everyone who has replied to this post, Especially the genuine interest in helping me and giving good suggestions! So many good suggestions and things to consider in resolving this issue! Thanks again! I think the responses so far have given me enough consensus on what the issue might be and ways I can resolve…

@Hornsby Ok, thank you for the responses though! I truly appreciate them and the effort :smile:

@BZAH10 Thank you! yes I think that is a very good idea! I think I am going to go swimming today and try to replace the "eating when I get home habit" with a swim. Hopefully, I can trade this habit I have developed with a healthier one- swimming! I know eventually I will stop getting hungry at this time if I can stave it…

@kimny72 Great suggestion! Thank you! I think maybe pre-logging a larger snack might work! and I think I need to seriously contemplate if maybe I am just not eating enough as several have suggested. I am not currently losing weight (I am pretty sure because of the occasional, more often than I would like) binge from the…

@Hornsby and @sidesteel This is something I have considered and am willing to up my cals to maybe see if that helps- My doc is not a dietitian but is a naturopath (a very good one) but he had suggested the not eating enough thing to me before as well, only when I had an issue before but not for this current issue I think…
